Poem Published in Prairie Schooner Literary Journal!

I found out one of my poems was published today, "A Trinity Plus One." The poem translates odd family memories into poetry and an exploration of bad Eldils and C.S. Lewis.

When I read the email message today, I actually cried, overcome with emotion--mostly joy but also sadness, a pensive sense of regret and nostalgia.

I'll share more once the formal letter arrives, but here's a little about Prairie Schooner, the journal that published my piece:
